介绍（中）	罗兰森在1797年游览威尔士时，拍摄了这幅广阔的卡马森河畔小镇的景色。他与漫画家亨利·威格斯特德一起旅行，后来他们出版了《1797年亨利·威格斯特带着罗兰森的盘子游览北威尔士和南威尔士的评论》（1800年）。这是罗兰森在一本打开的素描本上创作的一系列水彩画之一，用来记录著名的地点在相关书籍中，Wigstead将卡马森描述为"一个非常美丽的小镇……目标[监狱]……位于城堡的古老城墙内。一座石桥横跨托维河[托维]; 这里很窄，很不方便。人们在河岸上发射他们的畜栏，就像印度人背着独木舟一样，从一个地方到另一个地方。这种船是用轻质木材制成的，有马皮；每辆车只包含一名渔夫，他用桨以惊人的灵活性引导车辆通过最快速的通道。"这座12世纪城堡的废墟于17世纪在奥利弗·克伦威尔的命令下被拆除，在中心距离可以看到，两个畜栏在右侧的河流中穿行。两年后，罗兰森设计了一个水彩画，取笑他在旅途中所经历的艰苦条件。《一位艺术家在威尔士旅行》（59.533.654）展示了一匹小马载着一个身材瘦高的人，可能是威格斯特德，带着他捆好的装备，在瓢泼大雨中穿过山区。
介绍（英）	Rowlandson produced this expansive view of the rivertown Carmarthen as he toured Wales in 1797. He traveled with the caricaturist Henry Wigstead and they later published "Remarks on a Tour to North and South Wales in the Year 1797 by Henry Wigstead with plates from Rowlandson" (1800). This is one of a series of watercolors Rowlandson made across an open sketchbook to record notable sites. In the related book, Wigstead describes Carmarthen as "a very handsome town...The goal [jail]...situated within the ancient walls of the castle. A stone bridge crosses the river Tovy [Towy]; which is very narrow and inconvenient here. People are seen on the banks of the river, launching their corricles, which they carry, as Indians do their canoes, on their backs, from place to place.This kind of boat is made of light wood, with horse's hide; and each contains just one fisherman, who, with a paddle, guides the vehicle with wonderful dexterity through the most rapid passes." The ruins of the 12th century castle, dismantled in the 1600s at the orders of Oliver Cromwell, are seen here in the center distance and two corricles navigate the river at right. Two years later, Rowlandson designed an aquatint that poked fun at the arduous conditions he experienced on the trip. "An Artist Travelling in Wales" (59.533.654) shows a small horse carrying a tall thin man, possibly Wigstead, and his bundled equipment through mountainous terrain in driving rain.
